The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthesame;

To all vwhom it Imay concern;

Be it known that l', IIFSNRY A. DANInLs, of Thomaston, in the county ofLitchfield, and State of Gonnecticut, havev invented a new and improvedLubrieator; and l do hereby declare that the following, is a l'ull,clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skillediu the art to uzake and use the saine, rolia-ence being had to theaccompanying draw ing, tbrxning part of this specitieation.

The drawing; represents a sectional side view of my improved lubrieator.A

This invention relates to that class of lubrieators, for the journalsot' shafting, which are provided with shanks adapted to screw into thetop of the journalbox,and which contain plungers or stems resting uponthe journal ofthe shaft, and extending upward within the oil-cup; and

The invention consists in forming a conical valve upon the upper end oFthe stem, and in making the scrc\'.'slniuk adjustable, so that when thelatter is raised sutiieieutly above' the journal-box, the valve will heseated in the upper end of the shank, and cut oil' the supply of oillroux the cup, as will be hereinalter more fully described.

A, in the drawing, represent-s the oil-cup, made of glass or othersuitable material, screwed or otherwise fastened to its tubular shank B,on which an external scre\\'tl11'ead ay is formed, as shown.

The shank can thus he screwed into the journal-box C, and can bc turnedhigher or lower, at will.

D is the valve. It is adapted to close upon a seat, b, formed in thecup, and has' its stem c, reaching through and beyond the shank, asshow'u.

The lower end of the stem c is to rest on the shaft F is a jam-nut,which `is applied around the shank, above the journal, to lock the'cupin any desired position. l

Having thus described my invention,

A What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let' ters Patent, is-4The conical valve D, constructed as describedgrnpon Vthe upper end ofthe stem c, in combination with the adjustable shank B, carrying theoil-cup, whereby, when the shank Bis suiiicent-ly elevated above thejournal-box, thevalve is seatedand the supply of oil cut olf,substantially as herein? shown and described, HENRY A.
